A while ago I read a piece (I’m still looking for the original link) where the writer attacked anyone who used IN in their queries, at the time I thought his argument made sense, until I tested his theory using fairly large datasets.

There are some outstanding sections on the site currently, but these will be there soon.

Exchange server stops working

Obviously, this daily restart is not the solution to the problem.
